I am related to this line. My GGrand Father Andrew Howard married Harriett Jewell, Daughter of James T. Jewell, in 1842. I pray she is now in the keeping of our Lord.

Praying for strength and healing! I truly loved Debra, she had such a sweet spirit about her! A wonderful personality, her love and laughter will be missed!

There’s a special place in all of our hearts for our mothers, just like there’s a special place in every mother’s heart for her children. You must continue to carry her memory in that special place in your heart. I am sincerely sorry for the loss of one of the best mother any one could ever ask for Debra my mother will be missed. Today will be two years now that she passed away and as every day goes by she is always in my heart. I miss and love you mom. Love your son, Jackie Elmore
